Hiking to Sinclair Falls

From the small trailhead you can follow the well-developed trail along the shore of the Grass River. Sinclair Falls is more of a cascade than a vertical waterfall, but very scenic nonetheless.  

Sinclair Falls in the winter

A short and flat trail with little elevation change makes for a great snowshoe or crosscountry ski trail. Be prepared for slippery conditions, bring microspikes, and be careful around frozen and rushing water in the winter.
